A Conductor In Trouble.

LAuRENs, July l2.-Mrs. ]. A. Nc.
Daniel of Augusta, Ga, came to this
town yesterday representing herself as
being the wife of S. G. Mcdaniel, who
married Miss Eflie Nelson, young lady
of this place, about FIVE montha ago.
Mrs. ]. A. Mcdaniel produced marriage
certificate from the County of Richmond,
in the State Of Georgia, certifying that
she was married to S. G. Mcdaniel June
Sd, 1880. She stated that Mcdaniel left
her at Graniteville, South Carolina, two
years ago last November without stating
any reason for his leaving. She said che
heard about one month ago that he had
married woman in this place. At the
same time she heard that her little
daughter about 5 years old was with him
here. She said four or five months ago
McDaniel's mother come to her and
asked the child's mother to be allowed to
take charge of the child. She thought
the child was in the possession Of
McDaniels mother until very recently,
when she heard that the child was in the
possession of Mcdaniel and his second
wife. She at once came to this place for
the child. Her statement, iftrue, makes
a clear case of bigamy.
This lady has every appearance of
being an honest and upright woman, and
we are informed that she belongs to q
good family in Edge6eld.
Mcdaniel is conductor of The material
train on the Savannah Valley Railroad.

A Barnyard Fish Story.

The following somewhat resembles q
fish story, but it is vouched for by very
responsible gentleman and cannot be in.
correct:
In the vicinity Of the barnyard of Mr..
w. S. Monteitb, who lives just outside
of the city limits, partridges are in the
habit of making their nests and hatch.
ing their young. An indiscreet hen took
possession of one of these partridge
nests for couple of days and laid two
eggs. The partridge reclaimed possession,
and after some weeks steady occupation
Matched not only her own young but two
chickens. The brood has been carefully
watched, and the partridge has endeav-
ored to feed the chickens, which followed
her, as we'll as the young birds. When
the chickens we're several days old they
we're captured and given to more aatu.

citizen Of Graha m County, was to have

A Romance in Real Life.

COLUMBIA, July ia special to the
Daily Register from Sumter reports the
death in that county, last Saturday, of
Col. W. ]. Reynolds, in the 10Th year of
his age. Reynolds, fifty.6ve years ago,
was one Of the most promising young
men in the State and was noted for his
industry, integrity and active interest in
military affairs. He fell deeply in love
with beautiful young girl belonging to
one Of the first families of Clermont Dis.
trict and made suit for her hand. He
seemed to be favorably regarded by the
girl herself, but her parents had more
ambitious views for her and would not
allow her TO marry him. Nothing
daunted, the young man went to work to
win name and q position which would
render him more acceptable to the
parents. He was elected to represent his
county in the State Legislature, served
one term with credit and distinction, and
returning to his houae made another
effort to secure the hand of the girl to
whom he was attached. He was again
refused, but after he had been elected
third time Representative over promi.
ment and wealthy competitors the oppo.
sition to him was apparently silenced,
the young woman promised to be his
wife, and all the preparations we're made
for the wedding. At the last moment,
however, she wrote him a note saying
she had yielded to the wishes of her
mother and must decline to fulfil her
engagement. This broke up Col. Rey-
noId's life and career. After brooding a
long time over his disappointment he
took for wife negro girl who had been
his slave and lived with her to the last,
regardless Of public opinion and the
entreaties of his relations. He reared
large family of children and drew up
himself will providing for them all and
putting them on an equality with his
own nearest relatives. He left an estate
consisting of some thousand dollars in
money and 1000 acres Of land, and it is
thought that the validity OF the will will
be sustained.

Governor CurtIn's Story.

HARRISBURG, July 12.--Ex.Governor
Curtin passed East through this city last
night. In conversation about the alleged
charge made by Jefferson Davis that he
had pardoned desperate out of the
Eastern penitentiary for the purpose Of
having him assassinate the Confederate
chieftain for reward of 100000. he
said:
'l have no ides how such story
could have originated, but believe it was
founded on an extraordinary incident
that occurred in 1862, during my first
term as Governor Of Pennsylvania. At
that time notorious forger named Ken.
yon Cross was serving long term in the
Eastern penitentiary, in Philadelphia.
One day I received letter written on
the official paper of the Secretary Of
Wars Office, enclosed and sealed in an
official envelope, and signed with the
name of Secretary Stanton. The docu-
ment was in substance, that Kenyon
Cross was in position to get through
the rebel lines and obtain very impor-
tant and most desirable information at
rebel headquarters in case he was par.
doned. The latter recommended and
urged the pardon. The document bore
every evidence that it was genuine, and
no suspicion attached to it whatever.
81 at once made out the necessary
papers giving Cross his freedom, and
placed them, together with the letter
from the War Office, in the hands of the
United States Marshal. Cross was taken
to Washington, where it was found that
the letter signed by Secretary Stanton
was forgery. Cross was put back in
his cell in the State prison, and served
his term. Who wrote the letters or how
the official paper and envelope we're
obtained could not be found out, and the
incident is shrouded in as much mys.
terry to-day as it was in 1862"

She sewed on her Husbands Scalp.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, July 13.-Andrew
Meyer, a farmer living near Mexico,
No., was attacked by q vicious horse and
completely scalped. His left cheek and
a portion of the upper lip we're also torn
away by the animals teeth. Aphysician
was sent for, but was slow in coming, and
Mrs. Meyer, using common needle and
black thread, replaced the lacerated
cheek and lip and sewed them in place.
She then began on the scalp, which she
sewed to the flesh on the head, and had
nearly finished the work when che physi.
clan arrived. Her work was pronounced
excellent by the doctor.

A Bride Frightened to Death by q
Drum.

On the 4th of last May Mr.. Leroy
Deaton, living near Enochville, Rowan
county, N. c., was married to an estimable
young lady OF the neighborhood, and in
few days thereafter the couple paid o
visit to friends at Mooresville. On the
night following their arrival at that
place some of the friends of the couple
concluded to serenade them, and at a
late hour repaired to the house where
they were stopping. One of the sere.
nading instruments was drum, which,
when The serenade began, was thrust
through and open window of the room in
which the couple were sleeping and
beaten violently. The shock caused by
the unexpected event was too great for
the nervous system Of the young wife,
and she was thrown into spasms from
sheer fright. Every effort has since been
made to restore her to her usual health,
but she gradually grew worse until last
week, when she died, and was buried at
Enochville.

Cussedness in Colletou.

A party of some eighteen or twenty
persons went into the field of JEFF Risher
in Colleton County and maliciously
chopped down eleven acres of the finest
corn he had. Mr.. Risher is a very quiet,
hardworking citizen, and no cause can
be assigned for the disbolical deed except
that he is pronounced stock law man
and took an active part in the election
recently held in that County on that
question. Mr.. Risher only runs a one
horse farm, consequently nearly the
whole of his crop has been ruthlessly
destroyed. .-BranchviU Banner.

Undoubtedly a Good Excuse.

A recent issue of the Arizona Ho,0ler
contains the following personal explana.
tion: eve must apologize for the
wretched appearance of the Hovler this
week, as we have been utterly unable to
do the paper justice. Our wife arrived
from the East early in the week, and in
stead of fighting it out with the lady we
married since coming to this place, they
both fell upon us and pounded us very
nearly toa jelly. When we explain that
we write this holding the pencil with our
teeth, the reader will readily see how
impossible it was for US to make this
issue what we would DESIRE"

of the bullets cut Clark's neck slightly

is said to have been the circulation by
Clark of fslanderous reports affecting Miss
Elliott's reputation.

Jefferson Davis is blind of an eye, and
more do not know how he was thus
afflicted. When he was about fourteen
years old he and his cousin, Joseph J..
